NJ Governor Chris Christie went on Morning Joe to defend his decision to veto his state's marriage equality law which was just passed by the legislature. He tried to turn his appearance into an attack on President Obama but was taken down a peg by openly gay journalist Jonathan Capehart. See Think Progress for more details about the exchange.

Christie is a sack of *beep*. He wants to pretend that he holds a neutral “will of the people” position. But he wants a referendum not to allow marriage equality but rather to amend their constitution to PROHIBT marriage equality. If it doesn’t pass the LGBT community would be no better off than they were before the election; if it does pass they would be worse off. Notice that he was mute on whether or not he would again veto a marriage equality bill if such a referendum failed.
